AFTER THAT INCIDENT, Margarette decided to sleep next to her daughter at night. Xavier understood her worries and let her do what she felt more comfortable with. Xavier ended up feeling sorry for trapping her and asked for forgiveness, but she could only cry. She was a mess and was beyond afraid. He ended up punishing those people who pulled the trigger and fired without his commands. Because of that, Margarette had become paranoid. She rarely goes out to the room and would always look after her daughter. It has been 2 days and Margarette was still not talking to him. "Hi," he said through his low voice as he raked his fingers on his face before dishevelling it. He just got off from his own gym and was sweaty. He was only wearing men's shorts. His defined body was a huge turn on to everyone, especially to his chiselled chest. He had those 8 pack abs. Sweat was dripping down from his toned body. She looked away and ignored him. He licked his lower lips. "Where is Xaire?" he started
She was eating her food rather angrily. The plate made a screeching sound every time her fork hit the plate. She was munching it disgracefully, but she didn't care.Xavier entered the kitchen after a couple of minutes. He already took a shower and smells very nice. His biceps couldn't be hidden in his plain white shirt. He was so strong.He opened the fridge and took out some milk and drank it right in front of her. There was a playful smirk on his lips as he looked at her. Margarette, on the other hand, almost killed the man in her mind because of the extreme thickness of his face. "Are you still mad?" he asked the obvious as he closed the milk and put it back on the fridge. "I know you're still mad.""Shut up.""I'm sorry I didn't inform you beforehand. I was planning to surprise you," he said. "I know you're already bored being in this house for days and I thought that maybe bringing your and our daughter outside would make you at least happy. So please pardon my impudence."She gr
Xavier carried Xaire back to her own room and left Margarette all by herself at the living room where she stared blankly in nowhere. Her mind was thinking back at the things he had said. Her heart was beating so painfully fast that it made her tears want to flow on their own. But she took a deep breath and shook her head.What should I do? She asked herself. To be quite honest, she's lost. She felt powerless over his whims. She has never felt this before.Even during that night, she was restless. She couldn't blink to sleep. She was just staring at the ceiling while thinking about the things he had said to her. She was slowly hesitating. She thinks of giving him another chance. Everyone can make mistakes. Everyone has made a mistake in their lives, and it is something inevitable. However, what he did just, JUST, left a scar in her heart. It haunts her. What if he will do it again to her? Not just her, but also to their daughter? That's what she's afraid of the most. For the past to rep
When the car came to a halt, Xavier exited the car to open up the door for her. She awkwardly said her thanks and accepted his hand. "Daddy, are we gonna see Mickey Mouse today?" Xaire asked as the kid held his hand."Yes, princess. You want that?" "Yes! I want to meet Elsa, too!""Of course, you will be able to see and meet them today. Daddy promised that to you, okay?""Okay! Thank you, daddy! Love you!" Xaire enthusiastically said and jumped carelessly, causing her to nearly fall if not because of Xavier's fast reflex."Gosh, Xaire," Margarette stressed out. The two only giggled.Since it was hot, Xavier took out an umbrella and carried Xaire as they roamed around for a little bit. Margarette doesn't want to get burned by the sun so she fits herself with one umbrella with Xavier."Do we have another umbrella? I don't think this is enough for us," she complained."It's a pity we only have one. Why? Wanna rest now?"She shook her head. "No, it's okay. Let's get going."The maid who
He went speechless. As if he was lost for words that he could only stare at her. She continued, "Maybe yes, today you care for us. Maybe yes you still love us. But that doesn't change the fact that you hate our family. Any time you want to, you can hurt us. I have doubts, Xavier. I am afraid of what you're gonna do if you ever lose your grip on what you believe today. You're maybe longing for us, but I know there is still a part of you that is infuriating. Like an active volcano that would erupt at no given time. And I fear it, Xavier. I fear that one day you will snap out of it and end up doing what you have done 5 years ago...""That's not gonna happen again, Margarette.""I don't know..." she whispered. "We don't know what will happen in the future.""Baby," he uttered. "Trust me that would never happen." He held her shoulders and made her face him. She already had tears in her eyes as it shone under the glimmering light emitting from the moon above them.Her lips quivered. "H-How
The night ended up pretty agonising and long. For the rest of the night, all she could was the talk they had. Margarette left as soon as she heard his explanation. Her mind was blown with the new information she had heard. She doesn't know what to believe anymore.All she could do was cry.She kept crying and crying until her heart was content. Her eyes were swollen and her soul was aching. Her gut twists painfully in her stomach as if her conscience were trying to guilt trip her.Xavier, on the other hand, ended up not sleeping. He went and worked through his laptop whilst watching over as his girls slept.In his heart, he was content he was able to express his side. He was able to express those emotions he kept inside him. He's not expecting to be reciprocated or being pitied, he just felt okay by being able to express. That's what matters to him right now.The next morning, Margarette refused to get up from the bed even though they had plans for the day. Xavier immediately understoo
They entered the awaiting car and sat in the backseat together. Xavier was gently swaying their sleeping daughter in his arms to try not to wake her up until it's time for their lunch. As they sat in the backseat, things were pretty silent and awkward. None of them have spoken up nor any of them tried to even move; as if they were paralyzed or something. But they knew, they knew what was going on between them.The car soon after came to a halt. They exited the vehicle and entered a 5 star restaurant which was only reserved for them alone. Xavier doesn't want anyone to disturb them nor did he want his family to get uncomfortable being around with other people and getting stared at. He treasures privacy that much, especially about this personal matter which only concerns his own family.All dishes are ready already in case the two girls might want to try everything. They were being treated special because they literally are."Gosh, I hate wasabi," she mumbled as she breathed. He laughed
Days had went passed by pretty quick. It's been a week after they went to Disneyland. So far, things had been good after that day. Xavier and Margarette's relationship had become less complicated and heavy which causes them to live comfortably around with each other for the past days."How long would it last for the renovation though? I need the exact date right now." Xavier was on his phone and was talking to someone in the garden. Margarette didn't want to interfere and listen to the conversation, but she was already there and felt the need to continue eavesdropping even though she knew it was bad. "One month is way too long. I don't care about how much would it all be cost. Double the workers and make it as soon as you can, I will double the payment. Do you understand me?" He nodded his head as if he was listening to the person on the other line. "Okay, good. 15 days, alright? Okay, good, good."He turned off the phone and let out a sigh before he put his phone back to his Jean's po
